He has been exploring the field of circuit bending and experimental musical electronics since 2000 through his business Casper Electronics. He performs as an artist regularly under the same name.

Edwards' musical performances utilize a variety of mediums. Using handmade analogue sound and light synthesizers he reveals different layers of complex electrical systems which are then manipulated by hand to create audiovisual patterns. Using his self-crafted NOVA DRONE synthesizer machine, he creates an induced environment which presents itself as an immediate, intense, and hypnotic display of sound, light and color. This situation pulses and dissipates outward to affect an audience within a space, occupying a sonic territory between noise and melody, chaos and structure.

He has presented his work extensively across the US and Europe at venues and festivals including Transmediale (Berlin, DE), MIT media Lab (Boston, US), V&A Museum (London, UK), New York Electronic Arts Festival (Manhattan, US), Piksel (Bergen, NO), Mal au Pixel (Paris, FR), The Dutch Electronic Arts Festival (Rotterdam, NL), SOTU festival (Amsterdam, NL), Future Everything Festival (Manchester, UK), Experimental Media & Performing Arts Center (Troy, US).

He has also built instruments for musicians across the globe working in genres ranging from techno and sound scape to rock and hip hop. Clients include:
